SPRING AND EASTER HERE. Spring is here. So is Easter, or nearly so. There Is no mistaking the Signs. There are the usual number of robins, there is the occasional woodpecker, there is the green color to the lawns, and there are the bursting buds. The sun rides high in the heaven. There is the little girl with her ekipping rope and that the small boy with his marbles is not so strongly in evidence is due only to the fact that a week or so of unseasonably balmy weather some time ago, called out the "mibs" unduly early and removed the edge from the real season. And there is the omnl present millinery opening which proclaims not only the advent of the vernal season, but shouts out the approach of Easter. The word 'shout" is used advisedly. "With Easter less than a week away the stores and shops begin to take on an aspect in keeping with the holiday season. The show windows are gay with summer finery and the "marts of trade" on the whole remind one of bygone days when times were not "hard." In fact, so far heard from the situation might be worse, from a financial point of view. The merchants say they are doing as well as might be expected. They are not grumbling. But while many are contributing their share toward making the "season" a profitable one to the merchants, there are some few grouches who hold fast to their bank-roll lest any of it escape and never returned. To such it is the mission of those who realize the importance of being game and "keeping up a front" to preach optimism. It is the duty of everybody to cheer up at this Joyous season and make a bluff at being happy whether he la or nit. Make as big a showing as possible. While it may be folly to indulge in reckless extravagance, a little outlay will not do any harm in nine out of ten cases. So cheer up. If Kittle wants a Merry Widow sailor that looks like a half mile track, even though you may not approve of the proportions, do not make an excause for refusal, that "you can't afford it." If the wife yearns for an extra pair of long gloves which resembles a pair of hosiery rather than ' anything sane in the line of hand covering, if Johnnie desires a red necktie to match the Easter eggs he dyed last year loosen up buy 'em all. It won't hurt hurt you any and it may help "the times" to think they are not such a bad lot after all. And If they think they are improving they ore Improving. And that's what everybody wants.

Finds Man Who Pitched Hay for Him Years Ago Has Climbed Way Up the Ladder of Fame.

Twenty-five years. ago when A. M. Turner was getting his start in the world by purchasing the Schofield farm, south of Crown Point, and working it with the energy and enthusiasm which characteried him, especially in his younger days, a second cousin came to him, after having made a trip from one of the Dakotas, and asked for work. Mr. Turner found the young fellow a strong, willing worker and when it came to pitching hay he had very few equals. The young man remained on the farm until he got something of a start and then he left the vicinity of Crown Toint and went out into the world again to make his way. Last Sunday Mr. Turner went to Chicago to hear a noted Y. M. C. A. lecturer by the name of Fred B. Smith. Mr. Smith is - at present the leader in the great Y. M. C. A. movement In the world. He is the general secretary of the international organization and is said to be a man of remarkable ability. Fred B. Smith is the man whom Mr. Turner hired as a farm hand those long years ago and in the quarter of a century which has elapsed he has become Identified with a great religious movement and is said to be one of the most magnetic speakers and the greatest leader of young men in the entire world.

GEORGE GRAY

SITS I f LIftBE

Washington, D. C, April 14. The candidacy of Judge George Gray for the presidential nomination on the democratic ticket is to be launched today at the democratic state convention In Delaware. The convention will elect delegates to the Denver convention and instruct them; to stand by Delaware,'. , favorite son from the start to the finish. - '" " ' "" , ,' Democratic leaders here entertain various opinions as to the probably results of Judge Gray's candidacy. Many of them believe htat he has entered the race too late to cut much of a figure. That his friends intend to push his candidacy in all seriousness, however. Is evidenced by the fact that campaign headquarters have already been established in this city and quantities of literature in his interest are being sent broadcast throughout the country. There are few leaders of either party who do not say unhesitatingly that Judge Gray possesses the qualities to make him a strong candidate. Four years ago he probably could have had the nomination if he had expressed a willingness to accept it. But at that time he positively declined to permit the use of his name In connection with the presidential contest. His many admirers regard him as the type of democrat of the old school possessing the youth and vigor to be a candidate for the presidential chair, and having the qualities to bring to his support a large number of voter not particularly weeded to party allegiance. Among the conservative members of his party Judge Gray undoubtedly has more supporters than any other man mentioned for the presidency. Fourteen years in the senate, a term on the joint high commission to settle the disputes between the United States and Canada, a member of the peace commission of 1898, a member of the international arbitration commission to The Hague in 1900, eight years as a judge of the United States circuit court and the presidency of President Roosevelt's coal strike commission these are the positions which have kept him more or less befora the public eye for upwards of twenty years and have made him as conspicuous as any other democrat in public life. , Judge Gray is 68 years old, and looks considerably younger. He is a man of philosophical temperament, amiable personality and attractive appearance. He is a polished orator, and while in the senate was regarded as one of the foremost leaders of that body. Judge Gray entered as a democrat of the old school, standing for state rights and tariff reform. He did not reach the very forefront of the senate until the Harrison administration, when the democrats had become the minority party. In three days he made a national reputation in advocacy of state rights and in opposition to the Force bill which President Harrison was committed to passing. Mr. Gray, in the senate, was a sound money man. In the strife over the financial question, when President Cleveland was sending message after message to the senate, warning it of the necessity for prompt action, he was in tha front rank of those who sought to have something done. Thus it was that when the radical wing of the party came into control of the organization at the Chicago convention Mr. Gray was out of it so far as the presidential nomination was concerned. Judge Gray went to the convention of 1896, with other eastern democrats, and labored with voice and pen to induce the party to stick to sound money principles. He opposed the nomination of Mr. Bryan, but nevertheless he is one of the few democratic leaders in the east who have not tha personal enmity of the Nebraskan. In the past few years when Mr. Bryan has visited Delaware Senator Gray has entertained him. The Delaware leader had known Mr. Bryan In cofigresa and admired many of his fine qualities. When the gold democrats met at Indianapolis in 3 896 to put a third ticket in the field the nomination was offered Judge Gray, but it was refused. Ho took the position that he owed too much to the democracy of Delaware to ba drawn into a position of antagonism to It. Many leading democrats here are of the opinion that if the Denver nomination does not go to William J. Bryan then Judge Gray will stand at least an even chance to become "the party standard bearer. His friends point out that he is -as well known, as any other democrat whose name is mentioned in connection with the nomination and has accomplished more than any one of them.
